caustinI don't buy it because of the fact they prorate the days used. As a college student I pay about $400 for my pass, that means when lift tickets are over $100 a day. 3-4 days skied and the pass insurance does nothing for me. I get nothing back. So I accept the responsibility that if I get hurt that bad over my first few days I'm out that money. But I'd rather spend it on gas, food and beers on the patio at A basin the first few days I'm out there.

pussyfooterUhh i don't think thats how it works at all. They do season pass price / days in the season = x per day. Like if you paid 400 bucks and it was feb 1 thats like 1/2 way through the season so you'd get 200 back. I'm like 90% sure thats how it works.
Blake.Pnah he was right. if you ski two days before you hurt yourself, you get the price of the season pass back minus the cost of day tickets for those days
Blake.P500 for the college pass, 530 this year. and im less concerned about the first few days of the season, but more hurting myself during the summer and not being able to ski that winter
pussyfooterHmm I had a friend buy the insurance and he told me it was like how I said it, maybe he was wrong, that'd be so dumb if the pass insurance was based on day tickets.
caustinIf you are worried about risks through the summer than the $20 insurance isn't a bad deal. I'm not trying to say that the insurance is a scam, because I don't think it is. Just for me I'm not worried enough about the risk in the summer to not let me ski at all come late season. A basin is typically open for about 8 months, and that's a hell of injury to keep me off of skis for that long.
Blake.Pi hate to say it but if you didnt buy the insurance, you are kinda fucked. by not getting it, you gave up your right to get money back if you cant use your pass.
